LE ROY FAIRCHILD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED WHISTLE AND COMPASS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,742, dated October 26, 1880.

Application filed August 21, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it-may concern:

Be it known that I, LE BOY W. FAIRCHILD, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Combination of a Whistle and Compass-a new article of manufacture-of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

My invention has special reference to that class of articles which, designed to be worn suspended to a chain or cord attached to the person, are made of fine materials and are ornamental as well as useful; but it also has reference to those made of coarser materials, to be carried in the pocket, the intention of which is solely that of utility.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 3 is a side elevation'thereof, and Fig. 3 an end view of the same.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several figures.

A represents a tube, which constitutes the body of the whistle.

D represents a compass, constructed in the tube near the end opposite from that into which the blast is made, the needle and card of which are protected by a glass set in over them.

0 is a bail or handle through the ends of which pass the pins a a inserted in opposite sides of the body A, and in which the body loosely swings. On the bail O is a ring, 0, for purposes of suspension.

Bis a hemispherical cap or cover fitting the under side of the bail G, which protects the glass when the article is suspended in a perpendicular position.

In those intended to be carried in the pocket the compass will be protected by a tight-litting cap or cover.

It is obvious that the form or shape of this article may be readily changed. The body may be flat or double convex, or otherwise modified, as taste may demand, and the compass may be placed in the side instead of in the end.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the whistle-body A and compass D, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of the whistle-body A, having pins a a, compass D, and bail or handle G, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination of the whistle-body A, having pins a a, compass D, and hail or handle O, the latter having ring 0, substantially as shown and described.

4. The combination of the whistle-body A, having pins a a, compass D, bail or handle (J, with ring a, and cap or cover B, substantially as shown and described.
